Next Tuesday, September 8, we start the Row Along. 50 wonderful designers over the next six weeks bringing you wonderful patterns for your row type quilts. These patterns were inspired by this year’s theme of It’s A Garden Party.
I don’t normally do this all in one post, I like to spread it out among a few posts, but my internet has been so spotty over the last week and a half or so that I have barely been online at all. I had to go to the library a few days ago just to post the pattern that came out so that I could be sure it posted on time. So it occurred to me that in one of those rare instances I could get everything written up so I could just literally copy and paste it into the editor in my admin and post it, then add the images once it’s up again. Today it went out totally and I found out it’s due to some cut fiber optic cable in the area. arghhhh!!!
First, today, let’s start with the schedule:

As Always, All Giveaways Have Some Rules
Please take the time to read them.
- Giveaways offered by sponsors are assigned to the various bloggers/designers for their featured day.
- There are no prior announcements on who is doing which sponsor except to the sponsor and blogger/designers themselves.

- Some giveaways can also be entered at Seams To Be Sew. You must have commented at the blog of the designer/blogger’s post to enter at Seams To Be Sew, Winners who win from entering at Seams To Be Sew will be checked for the comment. This does not mean that commenting at Seams To Be Sew will get you an entry, it doesn’t.
- When you enter a give away that asks you to answer the question asked on the entry form, you do need to fill in that box. No answer means your winning entry will be ignored and canceled.
- You are only allowed to enter once at each of the featured day sites. Giveaways are different at each site, thus you can enter those giveaways.
- I will start announcing winners on September 15, 2020, and finish announcing winners on October 15, 2020.

Additional Notes About Giveaways From Our Sponsors
- I am not rich and I do not ask sponsors for money, they provide prizes only.
- If they shipped the prize to me, you will be asked to pay for shipping.
- All giveaways will be shipped that are in my home on each Monday of the event.
- An invoice will be sent to you via Paypal, and shipping will take place via Paypal, so your Paypal email will be needed to send the invoice. You will receive a tracking number except for overseas shipments. Because of the nature of many of the prizes in 2020, most packages this year will be sent via Priority Mail except where noted above.
- Please note, every effort is made to protect the prizes. They go into a plastic bin when I receive them, and it is covered by an airtight cover. I have a dog in my home and I have a smoker in my home, so I do everything possible to protect the prizes.
- Most companies are very good about getting prizes off to customers quickly also, but some companies are overseas, so please allow all sponsors a 2-week time period before you report to me that you still haven’t received your prize. When the company is overseas, it can take 6 weeks to 90 days for an item to also arrive.
Whether or not you read the above, the rules for giveaways are in place to protect everyone. I do not want to hear you didn’t read them, they are posted on this post and this link will be made available on all blogs and mine each day of the event. There is no excuse for not reading them.
Thank the sponsor by buying their products for the giveaways. This helps them continue to offer great prizes for these types of events. You can also comment on their social media pages. Even if you don’t win, letting them know you love their products is a huge incentive and they really do love hearing from you.
A Huge Thank YOU to these companies for once again participating as a sponsor for giveaways in the row along this year. I am so honored and it is so appreciated when you say yes.
Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!

I am an affiliate of the above companies when you click one of these links and purchase something, I earn a little bit of a commission with it. I use this money to help maintain my website and offer my free patterns to you. Every little bit helps, thank you so much for clicking and for your support. I don’t just offer up these brands to you I actually use their products and shop at these places. I would never partner with someone whose products I didn’t use.
Please remember it takes 2 minutes to comment, please say Thank You, whether you downloaded a free pattern, read a tutorial, or just learned something new. It takes time for people to write a post, take pictures, make a project or even write a pattern.
Let them know you appreciate it.
If your comment doesn’t show up after you post it, it’s most likely gone to the spam folder. I will see it and approve it, unfortunately, it just means something about your email address caught my spam filter’s eye.
Great patterns, great ideas this week. Generous quilters sharing their talents. Thank you all.
This is my first row along and it’s so much fun! Thank you for organizing and thank you to all the designers who’ve participated.
Looks like fun!
awesome ! Outstanding site and list if prizes. Can’t wait to start.reading about every site today.
Thank you so much for doing this blog hop!! The patterns are gorgeous!!
I look forward to your blog hops every year. I know there is alot of work for months on your part prior to the hop. It would take me at least a year to coordinate this with all the wonderful prizes. After one day I know this is going to be a good one.
Wow…a row along is more then getting a free gift…it is getting to know bloggers and quilters you may have never met or read about….thank you for all your time and the efforts of all the designers who have said yes to paticipate…
So excited for this blog hop! Thanks for all that you do behind the scenes to make it happen!
Thank you so much for making this possible!
There are lots of great prizes. I can’t wait to see everyone’s blocks.
This sounds wonderful. Thank you for the effort it took to contact all the sponsors and write up the schedule and rules. I can hardly wait to start.
I am embarrassed to ask this but I saw a link on how to grab a button but cannot find it. I looked in the tutorials but I don’t think it is there.
I don’t have a tutorial for that, but it’s pretty easy, you simply first save the image, and then copy the link location… (that’s how I do it anyway) but many bloggers will give you a link line you add to your html code that does all that for you without you having to upload the image, I prefer to not borrow on someone else’s bandwidth, so I upload the image I downloaded, then link it to the link it needs to be on.
This sounds like so much fun. I can’t wait to get started. This will be my first RAL. I hope I can keep up.
Wow! Thank you for doing this! What an awesome group of designers!
Thank you Marian, for organizing such a huge event! I can’t even think how n
Many moving parts there are in this garden party. I’m excited to get started!
Thank you, Marian. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this row along! Looking forward to seeing what everyone created!
Fabulous list of quilters, and tremendous list of sponsors giving gifts. You’ve outdone yourself this year, Marian.
I’ve never tried a row by row sew-a-long. But definitely want to give it a try. Thanks for provided me a chance to participate.
Can’t wait!!! I will try to follow each designer and the creativity of each one.
Come solito ogni anno bellissimo programma. Grazie a tutti per tutto.
Thank you for your hard work. You have a lot of companies listed! My internet is so extremely slow, but at least I get it. Reminds me of dial up years ago.
Thanks for doing this! It has been such a strange year for all. I, too, have had to go to the library to use their computers when ours misbehaves (once for 2 weeks!!!!!) Thanks again.
